Some new season changes and blue essence

Bloody Skarlet·Oct 27, 2017·1 votes·810 views

Hello, I read a little bit about the changes for the new season and I have a question. It was mentioned that the blue essence that we have will be multiplied by 6.5 and the upgrades and things in the store will cost 6.5 times more as well. However, getting our blue essence multiplied by 6.5 is not enough considering everything else will cost more. My question is: Will we also get IP/Blue Essence more than we do now or in bigger amounts? Because it seems unfair if things in the store will cost more than they do now but we keep receiving the same amount of IP/Blue Essence.

Also is it true that we will only get Blue Essence (which is currently IP) only by disenchanting champion shards? That seems very unfair considering how slow it would be. Leveling up for days just to get a champion shard of a very low amount of blue essence. Playing for days can earn you up to 10 000IP while from what I've read so far, if we do get blue essence (the new currency that will replace IP) only by disenchanting champion shards, then that's like playing for days to get 100ip. I hope I am mistaken and please explain how it works. I've checked all the articles and I need specific answers for these questions.

You are mistaken.

" then that's like playing for days to get 100ip."

Greatly.

Well I play daily and I get around 1k if not more IP a day. If i have to level up for days just to get 1 champ shard from 450IP which will give me 87BE in current currency, then that's like 87IP for days and days of playing.

It's like you didn't read any of those announcements... They said the champion price isn't getting increased, that they are making the systems equivalent, and you didn't even multiply the number you gave which is the one thing that you did get from it. What is anyone supposed to say? You didn't check into this at all.

Well they are trying to sum up everything to a 5 minute video and I even checked the Q&A and still found nothing on all details. I get it now that champs will cost the same in the store but found no info on how much they will cost as shards. I got that they will be disenchanted for more essence than now, but how much more can that be? I doubt we can save up dust as fast as we did IP even if they give the shards some more essence value. And if I have to multiply that would be a 450IP champion = 87 dust x 6.5 = 565.5 dust which still kind of sounds not so much compared to the current system and how you can get almost 300IP in a single game.

You already know that you are leaving out the other end estimates, the ones where you get 2,112 dust from current rates, which is going to be like 20 half hour games in the current system. There's also that you will get more shards and multiple chests sometimes which will even out the rates.

Actually, everything in the store will cost the exact same as it does right now.

Also is it true that we will only get Blue Essence (which is currently IP) only by disenchanting champion shards?

From what I understand, yes we only get them from Champion Shards which is not something I'm a fan of personally.

Here is a vid that talks about everything. https://youtu.be/Yq2i6RDmbNc

Any more questions, feel free to ask. :)

My biggest concern is that if upgrading champion levels and all those shard rewards will cost more than they do now, and if we are gonna get shards only from disenchanting champions (which will take days because we gotta level up to get them). Doesn't that mean we will get essence slow as fuck but some things will be 6 times more expensive and basically we will buy or unlock some things 10 times slower than we do now? Which makes it hard as fuck for new players but riot are trying to make it easier? I'm confused.

I don't know how much we'll be getting from levels, all we can do is wait and find out.

The only price that is getting multiplied by 6.5 is the essence rates on mastery 6 and 7.

Along with the essence you have from what I've heard. So the shop is staying the same? Also those big rewards like URFwick being 150 000 essence is huge considering we will be getting like 80 essence every level up.
